Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates

Hey - I noticed you're the "director" so to speak of FTC. Just as a note, there are currently 2 candidates with unanimuous support that have both been around for over two weeks. Not sure how often we close them, but yeah... Cheers, Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 01:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Image:Tommy Douglas portrait.jpg

 

A tag has been placed on Image:Tommy Douglas portrait.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Image:Tommy Douglas portrait.jpg|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Tommy Douglas portrait.jpg)

 

Thanks for uploading Image:Tommy Douglas portrait.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. WinHunter (talk) 08:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Québécois

Hello. Awhile back you assessed this article as being of high importance. I was wondering if you might reassess that in light of the fact that it was agreed (months ago, after protracted discussions to which I was a party) that the article would cover only the use of the word Québécois, and not the people themselves. The ethnic/cultural group is instead to be covered at French-speaking Quebecer, an article not likely to add much to the treatment at French Canadian. Joeldl (talk) 09:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Charlie jokes

Hello Arctic.gnome. If anybody wishes me to remove the Charles joke? I will do so. Not because I'm afraid of libel (I'd love the publicity), but because some editors (likely monarchist) would wish it removed (which I'd understand). GoodDay (talk) 20:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Harry Nixon.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Harry Nixon.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 02:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Quebec

Hello Arctic Gnome. I'm not sure if Ramdrake & Soulscanner will ever compromise on the location of the Quebecois motion. GoodDay (talk) 22:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ipswich Town F.C. FTC

Hey! Just a quick note to ask what specific criteria you attach to promoting to FT (e.g. time limit) - the Ipswich Town F.C. featured topic candidacy has unanimous support, and has done now for ten days, so I was hoping for a promotion in the near future? Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Not a problem. No rush, I was just curious. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:20, 1 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

A question

The new criteria doesn't specify whether it is 20% of articles rounded up or down. The Simpsons FTs have 26 articles, but we've been told that we need two more even though 20% of 26 is 5.2. So I was wondering if you could clarify this for me. -- Scorpion0422 00:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why should it be rounded up? It seems that you should get a consensus on that first. -- Scorpion0422 01:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

IT just seems really unfair because the only topics affected by this are us, so why can't you cop us a break? Getting four episode FAs from a narrow group in 6 months will be extremely difficult, can you at least give us until the end of the year? -- Scorpion0422 01:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

An FT question

The WWE Cruiserweight Championship is no longer an active championship and it's part of the Active WWE Championships FT. It should be removed from the FT, but what is the proper way to do it? -- Scorpion0422 02:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

The thing about that is that there are over a dozen others that aren't included because they are no longer active, and if we leave the Cruiserweight title, we'd have to work to include all of the others. -- Scorpion0422 03:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Template:Canadian Prime Ministers timeline small

A tag has been placed on Template:Canadian Prime Ministers timeline small requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Creating a WP:FT with Lists of billionaires

If I make List of billionaires (2006), List of billionaires (2007), and List of billionaires (2008) into WP:FLs, and either Lists of billionaires or Billionaire into either an WP:FL or an WP:FA, then would I be able to nominate them for a WP:FT? Or would the lists for the years before 2006 be required? The actual lists from Forbes go back a few decades at the least, I believe, but the lists on Wikipedia only start from 2004 to the present. If possible, I would like to focus on 2006–2008. Please let me know. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 22:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

WP:FT of Nintendo video game consoles?

If I created a WP:FT for Nintendo video game consoles, would including Color TV Game, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, and Wii be sufficient?

Table of contents on WP:FT?

Could we add a table of contents to WP:FT? It'd be easier than scrolling through the page to see if a potential topic already exists. Gary King (talk) 19:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

List of UEFA club championship winning managers FTC

Hello Arctic gnome. Could you please withdraw the nomination (I'd do it myself but I wasn't sure if you recorded it in the fail log, and, if so, exactly how). Despite the consensus being in support of its promotion to FT, I'm not happy about it since the comments of Struway2 were added. Rest assured I'll be back but probably with at least one more FL (if I can!)... Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Black Loyalists

If you read Barry Cahill's piece the term Black Loyalist is inaccurate. David George makes no mention of being a "Black Loyalist" in his account. How then do you call him what he himself never referred to himself as. The only thing I know George referred to himself as was a negro. This is mentioned in his account of his life to brother John Rippon.

It is you who is disruptive

You purposefully ignore the facts and declare what you want to believe. Wikipedia will forever be seen as an unreliable encyclopedia if it has people who refuse to say the facts. I created the article on David George, I created the article on Cato Perkins,Harry Washington and Boston King. Boston King and David George never mentioned loyalty in their accounts or memoirs. Barry Cahill who is a senior archivist at the Nova Scotia archives has also said that none of these enslaved African Americans were Black Loyalists. Are you saying that because historians classify these blacks as loyalists they were loyalists? Or are you going to look at the individual cases and of historical African Americans who sought refuge in the British camp. Some Blacks were loyalists but so were some Native Americans. Create an article on Native American Loyalists because if you do not know there were many who actually supported the British. Do not tell open lies on the internet; the blacks who immigrated to Sierra Leone never called themselves blacks loyalist they called themselves the nova scotians or settlers. If you do not believe these facts then you can continue to put false information on Wikipedia. I will continue to edit and put out the facts. If I am blocked for this then so be it. I am currently planning to discontinue editing wikipedia anyway. It seems correcting false information on this encyclopedia it deemed "disruptive". This is why wikipedia will never be taken seriously or looked at as a respectable encyclopedia. But I suppose I am "disruptive" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiaddict8962 (talkcontribs)

Dear Arctic gnome

There is no denial that Black Loyalist is used in all academic texts. But does this mean the term in itself is correct? This is what Barry Cahill examines. This is the wrong place to argue over the term. Let me say without a doubt the term black loyalist will not be the term used within the next 5 to 10 years. African American refugees or African American fugitives will be. http://atlanticportal.hil.unb.ca/dev/acva/blackloyalists/en/context/articles/cahill.pdf

I am not predicting I am saying fact because I alongside professors I collaborate with are starting the campaign

Also please stop calling the Sierra Leone company blacks "black loyalists" the group who immigrated to sierra leone clearly called themselves the Nova Scotian settlers. Thank you --Wikiaddict6989 (talk) 19:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Seeking consensus around "Black Loyalist"

Thanks for taking up this issue. My Wikipedia strengths lie more in adding info and tweaking articles for readability than in helping other editors to use the system appropriately and invoking sanctions. I'm glad you are taking the steps you have outlined, to encourage Wikiaddict to seek consensus and to report disruption if need be. Let me know if I can help.

Canadian PM infoboxes

As a consistancy buff? I'm discouraged. If I do the following: A) add/remove 'monarch' from all 22 articles; B) add/remove 'governor general' to the 22 articles or C) do both A & B'? I'll be reverted either way. GoodDay (talk) 23:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

In agreement; hopefully 'others' will take interest in this topic. Thus, we'd be able to break the stalemate. GoodDay (talk) 23:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Viable Featured Topics

Hi, if you have time, could you take a look at User:Gary King#Not_nominated and tell me which Featured Topics are viable and which have gaps? That'd be very helpful so I know if I'm wasting my time on some of them or not. Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 04:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree with the suggestions you mentioned, but regarding Microsoft and Apple, the topic would be 'Founding of Microsoft/Apple' and not the whole company itself (which would then encompass all of their products, etc.) I personally understand the founding of a company to be the company's article itself, the History of the company, and the original founders. There isn't any company featured topics yet so there is no precedent set for that yet. Gary King (talk) 19:35, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I'm curious to know typically how long a WP:FTC must hang around before it passes?

On this day April 17

I disagree with your claim that all of those items are more notable than the Canadian constitutional patriation. At the same time as it formally made Canada independent from Britain, it gave the Canadian courts supremacy over the parliament, which had never been done before in any of the similar parliamentary democracies. An item like the 335 Year War is quirky and interesting, but the patriation has huge historical implications in the field of parliamentary law. This is probably the third most important event in Canadian history, and out of the 366x5 items in On This Day, Canada is surely entitled to at least three events. --Arctic Gnome (talkcontribs) 23:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Regardless, they are all notable and interesting. It's only for an hour or so, anyway. Feel free to post it back for next year, and replace another 20th century item (too many). (If it's earlier in the day, I'd suggest cycling of those events.) But, please note that when we put things on MainPage, we have to keep in mind:
  1. Do not break the left-right balance on MainPage.
  2. Do not use fairuse pictures.
You did both with this edit. --PFHLai (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, It didn't see the <!-- --> on the 1942 item. MainPage was balanced. --PFHLai (talk) 23:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

FT image

Now that Wikipedia:Featured topics/Seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation has been promoted, does it need a picture? It seems to be the odd one out right now as all the others have one. Are fair-use images okay to use, as it might be hard to come up with a free image for a TV Show. I'm no artist, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Degrassi is unfrequented so that's a dead end. There is one free image, Image:Degrassiautos.jpg. Would this be okay? -- αŁʰƏЩ @ 00:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

It has to be a free image, so that image of autographs might be our only choice for now. I think the best we could do is find out what school was used for exterior shots and take a photo of it. --Arctic Gnome (talkcontribs) 07:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Help needed

I'm working on my first full-fledged featured topic and I've run into a big bummer. Can you guide me through the process of audit for New York State Route 9L, because this cannot reach GA in my opinion. If it is GA possible, is there a way to give it special privilages along with New York State Route 418 and New York State Route 912Q to avoid demotion? Thanks.Mitch32contribs 23:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The exemption for short articles is generally used for articles about things that are too new to have a long article now, but should have one in the future, such as an article about a movie that hasn't been released yet. I suspect that many editors will say that if there isn't enough information on this road to write a GA article, then its content should be merged into something else, such as a catch-all list of minor highways in the county. If you want to try asking for the exemption anyway, there is no formal process, for review before the FT nomination itself, but a peer review from its wikiproject would help.
Hmm, 9L's the biggest target to this. What's your opinion on the article out of sheer curiousity?Mitch32contribs 23:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

ACC championship games

Hi - The bot I run that updates WP:WBFTN expects the page name for the featured topic box added to WP:FT to be the same as the page name for the nomination added to WP:FTC. This wasn't the case for the ACC championship games FT (the page name of the box matched the header in the nomination file, not the page name). I fixed this by moving the nomination page (and updating the transclusion in the log file). Unlike featured articles (and featured lists) these page names aren't generally visible to readers since the pages are transcluded by WP:FT (articles and lists are linked by WP:FA and WP:FL respectively). I don't have any idea how often this might come up again, but in general I think it's probably good for the FT name (the header in the nom file), the name of the nom page (subpage of WP:FTC), and the topic page name (subpage of WP:FT) to all match. As far as you know, is this already supposed to be the case? Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 15:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
